New tools for planners and programmers.

Expert InsightsPublished 1961

A discussion of conditions which make current machinery inadequate for handling problems involved in U.S. security planning and of new tools which can meet the needs of the planners and decision-makers. While in no sense a panacea, these new tools should facilitate dealing with the uncertainty of defense fund requirements in the nuclear-rocket-space age. With an understanding of the potential decision points available, together with time-phased resource impacts of new systems, it should be possible to avoid the necessity of delays in important programs and of cancellation of others.
